Your team may never say it out loud, but they’re thinking it:

“I’ll believe it when I see how long this lasts.”

Leadership doesn’t fail because of bad ideas or weak speeches.

It fails because standards don’t stick.

In this episode, we expose the real reason teams nod, agree, and then wait you out—short stamina. Not laziness. Not resistance. Conditioning.

You’ll hear a powerful story from a veteran service advisor who stopped believing in leaders—not because they were wrong, but because they never stayed.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why teams don’t resist change—they resist false starts
• How intensity without endurance destroys trust
• The difference between motivation and managerial stamina
• Why “I need better people” is often code for exhaustion
• The one question that reveals whether your leadership will last

Trust isn’t built by how strong you start.

It’s built by how long you hold the line after the novelty wears off.

Your team isn’t asking if you’re right.

They’re asking if you’ll still care in 60 days.

If you want execution that sticks, you don’t need more energy.

You need staying power. Go create some leadership fire. 🔥love the show? like, rate, review and share
